…while I was eating breakfast but I forgot it by the time I sat down at the computer.
Look! A Baby Wolf! is one of my favorite blogs. It’s very funny but it’s not often that I find something there that I can describe as sweet. This is sweet.
H is as addicted to Lord of the Rings Online gaming as I am to World of Warcraft. We usually sit opposite each other, contentedly killing monsters in our own little worlds.
Awww… what a lovely, perfect couple. I have heard so many women complain about their husbands’ hobbies and I’ve never understood that. Why would you complain about your husband leaving the house to go hunting, fishing or golfing? That’s your “me time”. Help him load his stuff in the car, push him out the door, send the kids, if you have any, to grandma’s or out to play with the neighbor’s kids and you have the house all to yourself for a little while. And you have a problem with that? I don’t get it.
Even more, I don’t get women who complain about their husband “spending too much time on the computer,” unless it’s that you wish he’d go fishing and get completely out of your hair. I mean, he’s there, in the house, with you, not out running around somewhere. You know where he is! That’s a good thing. If it’s a matter of him not getting around to the Honey-Do List, that’s simple – get on the computer before he does and don’t get off it until he knocks a couple of items off the list. And if it’s a matter of wanting to spend more time with him, well go spend time with him. He’s right there! Just go sit down next to him and suddenly you’re together. Computing is something you can do together and you don’t have to touch any slimy worms or icky dead animals or anything like that. What could be better?
For what it’s worth, we’ve been married almost 34 years so #1, we both must be doing something right, #2, all of you younger women need to listen to me because I know what I’m talking about.

Thank you! I have about eleventy million examples of why he’s the perfect man for me, but I don’t talk about all of them because his head will get huge and we just don’t have a hat budget right now.
Heh. I typo’d “hat badger” and now I can’t get that image out of my head.

My other half likes that I’m far more likely to be playing WoW or reading a book than I am to be in a bar.
Although, two of my hobbies she likes. She likes riding ATV’s, and loves to ride on my motorcycle with me.

My hub also has hobbies that I always know where he’s been. In the garage or on the computer. Cars and computers have no communicable diseases.
We used to play WoW in the same room, like LeeAnn and her hub. Now he plays his computer game of the current obsession and I watch tv with the cats or read. In the same room.
I have never understood women who are either never happy or who want to control everything someone else does. Too much work.

“…get on the computer before he does and don’t get off it until he knocks a couple of items off the list”
*heh* Sounds great, except that there’s always an “open” computer somewhere on the network around here. Yes, that does make it a wee tad harder for me to keep on top of my “honey dos” but we all have our crosses to bear.
